Sky News now reporting that it was a bullet that was addressed to Lennon and sent to Celtic's training ground in Lennoxtown.

Absolute madness. :bitchy:

Sky News are reporting that the package addressed to Neil Lennon, contains a bullet.

What is going on with the world when this is becoming almost regular?

The worrying thing is that I can see this being from more than one seperate faction

Time to go Neil:
for your sanity and your family.

If that seems to be pandering to the undesirable element in society it may be a price worth paying. It's going too far and surely even he won't be so pig-headed to keep toughing it out.

Bad times in our game. :bitchy:

Apparently there's also been a couple of arrests over previous packages. That at least is good news.

I'm not saying they will be but I wouldn't be surprised if those arrested in Ayrshire were from NI. There seem to be have been a number moved over to the SW of Scotland after the loyalist feud a few years ago.

Dont make the mistake of thinking hibs wont get tarred with the same brush, especially down south. People will assume the same issues affect us, ive already heard hibs being described as 'the edinburgh tims' today. Sick of it.

Plenty of non-NI in that region who hold much the same loyalties (excuse the pun). I think the saddest thing about this is that there can't be many people who are genuinely surprised by this.

I agree with that and it is indeed a sad fact.

Apparently there was a suspicious package found at easter road today, turns out it was a set of football nets.

IS pandering. I agree that Neil Lennon needs to learn to act with more grace and dignity, but you're not seriously suggesting that he should have to give up his job to stop criminals in our society behaving as they do. That's one very dangerous slippery slope.

If it was my health and the safety of those I purport to love being placed in jeopardy for the sake of a job, then yes that is indeed what I am seriously suggesting.

The decision may not be down to Neil Lennon if the huns win the title at the weekend and Motherwell spoil their Scottish Cup party.

Either way I think he should just leave the country. He's a bad advert for the Scottish game although I'm not condoning all the nonsense that's been happening lately.

yep, i think he needs to pull the plug before someone else gets hurt instead of him. a sad day if it happens but there is just to much hatred involved in all this and it wont go away even if arrest after arrest is made.

not the sort of highlights we need for scottish football,its bad enough without this

I would prefer to live in a country that respects the rule of law and order, myself, not one where it is ever acceptable to threaten, abuse and intimidate someone out of a job (and effectively out of the country) because you don't like him or you don't like his religion or you don't like the football club he manages or any other spurious reason that could be put forward to "justify" these criminals' actions.

Neil Lennon is entitled to go about his lawful business without fear for himself or his family. To me it is just not acceptable to say if he gives up his job, the problem caused by criminals will go away, therefore the solution is for him to give up his job. What sort of society would we be living in if this were the norm?

I hope the police and the prosecuting authorities throw the book at those responsible.

I totally and absolutely agree with this but sadly, as we all know, the real world doesn't always fall into the correct compartments.
My thoughts are with the people who are being directly affected by this disgusting criminal behaviour on a micro-level. Idealistic acceptability is irrelevant here, whether he goes or not wouldn't herald a triumph over serious crime and an utopian society. I daresay Lennon couldn't care less about a societal overview, I sure as hell wouldn't - I'd be long gone because the problem will continue for as long as I do (in that specific capacity).
It truly is tragic but perhaps needn't have come to this if the so-called upholders of law and order and other authorities governing our sport had had the spine to deal with all this sectarian fueled toxicity a long long time ago.

Proof, if any more were needed, that Scottish Football is ruined by the Old Firm
